I finally managed to install FreeBSD 2.1, the Walnut Creek release of
January 1996.  But now I can't boot into it !   I believe it run
allright at the final stage of the installation.

The problem is that I have Linux and Lilo installed on my first
HD and I need to have both systems working, for a while, in
order to migrate from Linux.

The best would be if I could create a Lilo stanza that boots freeBSD,
but booting from a floppy would be acceptable. However, I don't know
how to create a FreeBSD boot floppy that doesn't insist on making a
new installation.

Thanks,

Ingemar Hulthage
